Rand Paul on Thad Cochran’s Win: ‘I’m for More People Voting’
Pajamas Media ^ | 06/26/2014 | PAULA BOLYARD

Posted on 06/26/2014 5:51:41 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul doesn’t have a problem with Democrats heavily influencing Republican primaries. Paul, a likely contender for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, refused to criticize Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran’s campaign efforts to lure Democrats to the polls with race-baiting ads and promises of government handouts. ”I’m for more people voting, not less people voting. I think the people of Mississippi spoke and I think Thad Cochran has done a lot of good things for Mississippi,” Paul told reporters on Wednesday.

What kinds of “good things”? A Tax Foundation study found that Mississippi ranks first in the amount of federal aid as a percentage of state revenue, comprising more than 46% of the state’s income. Sen. Cochran suggested during the campaign that he would like to see the return of earmarks, which lawmakers banned in 2010. Prior to the ban, Cochran steered more earmarks to his state than any other member of Congress.

Rand is sounding more like an air-headed bleached-blonde silicone bimbo by the day.

Now officially sick and tired of this self-righteous tool. Had high hopes for him, but it didn’t take long for the Narcissistic Personality Disorder to take over.

I don’t have a problem with more voters per se. I have a big problem with unqualified, uneducated voters who do not pay taxes.

>> Paul has been “Robertsized”. They have something on him. <<

Yes, his dad's "RLOVEULTION" crowd is "on him" and they're in bed with leftists like Cindy Sheehan. I warned people not to trust little Ron's son back in 2010 but nobody listened. It's time to stop drinking the kool-aid than paleo-libertarians in the Ron Paul movement are the "true conservatives". Most of them are pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-open borders, etc.

No, he’s sounding more and more like his loony dad.
